Name:

Limaris Arahad

Age:

22

Race:

Human

Gender:

Male

Weapons:

Longsword and Hunting bow and quiver, padded leather cuirass and braces.

Appearance:

5’ 11’’ of medium build, his face defined by a clear jaw line which ends in a rounded chin. His mouth is small, a full bottom lip and a shallow upper lip, darkened as is his skin by the weather and circled by a rough beard, which is flecked with white hairs below the middle of the bottom lip.

His nose is sharp and straight separating two eyes that appear sunken by the dark lines beneath his grey eyes and high cheekbones, topped with dark eyebrows, curled as they meet the nose; giving him a constant stern look.

His hair is short swept back at the sides and raised at the front, resembling a neatly cut topary tree and giving his face a slightly heart shaped appearance. All that is left to desribe are his ears, small and angled slightly backwards with attached earlobes.

All in all a stern rogueish appearance which often makes people uneasy, however this is broken when he smiles or laughs, for his grey eyes glitter and exude a calm and softened appearance. Beneath his padded armour are a light black cloth tunic and a grey woollen vest, his trousers are a dark green and he wears black leather moccasins on his feet.

Personality/Strengths/Weaknesses:

Being young he has still much skill to gain and consequently is his greatest weakness, though in the year with the Rangers he has been imparted with basic swordplay and has developed his skill as a bowman, whom he learnt from his father when he accompanied him on his journeys to Minas Tirith.

Most noticeably though is his tracking talent, mostly raw and unchanelled there is no doubt in the years to come he will become highly proficient at it. Although young he is not headstrong and does not rush into rash action, though quiet and watchful he does not shy from company or a good drink with other folk and enjoys good conversation. Though he becomes closed when asked about his father.

History:

He is of the House of Arahad, A Gondorian father Simaril who was a prominent blacksmith in a small village in southern Linhir near the mouth of the Anduin; they would make a visit to Minas Tirith to sell his work every four months. He has a Rohirric mother who worked as a tanner at Edoras who moved to Linhir when his father met her on a rare visit to Edoras.

His stern features are from his father and eyes from his mother. Limaris was 9 when his father was killed during the Battle of the Five Armies who had travelled there to be with his brother who was born in Dale. His mother Olwyn looked after him until the age of 17 when he ran from home to travel to Dale to visit the burial ground of his father. Returning 3 years later to his mother a hardened young man he imparted her with what money he had, and staying 8 months until the 18 of Forelithe 1354SR he left for Minas Tirith.

It had been his wish to become a Guard like his Grandfather. However upon arrival he was noticed for his skill in tracking, and a year later was on the borders of the Shire with a company of Rangers who were guarding its borders patrolling the Bounds in the South Farthing until it met the Brandywine.
